The Mafia Dictatorship of For Sque is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Thunder with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working, cynical population of 8.88 billion Squeans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.7%.

The frighteningly efficient For Squean economy, worth a remarkable 1,055 trillion Sques a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 118,853 Sques, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 528,766 per year while the poor average 16,630, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. For Sque's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

For Sque is ranked 30,636th in the world and 99th in Forest for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 248.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
